Abstract
Adsorption processes are being widely used by various researchers for the removal of heavy metals from waste streams and biochar has been frequently used as an adsorbent. In this study, a MgO-loaded biochar derived from Alternanthera philoxeroides (MAPB) was synthesized for the removal of Cu(II). Compared with other biochar absorbents, MAPB showed a relatively slow adsorption kinetics, but an effective removal of Cu(II) with a maximum sorption capacity of 1, 238 mg/g. The adsorption mechanism of Cu(II) by MAPB was mainly controlled by chemical precipitation as Cu2(OH)3NO3, complexation and ion replacement. Fixed bed column with MAPB packed in same dosage (1, 000 mg) and different bed depth (1.3, 2.6 and 3.9 cm) showed that the increased of bed depth by mixing MAPB with quartz sand could increase the removal of Cu(II). The fitted breakthrough (BT) models showed that mixing MAPB with support media could reduce the mass transfer rate, increase the dynamic adsorption capacity and BT time. Therefore, MAPB adsorbent act as a highly efficient long-term adsorbent for Cu(II) contaminated water treatment may have great ecological and environmental significance.

Abstract
The current study aimed to assess the effectiveness of biochar formed from algae in the removal of Cr(VI) through the process of impregnating brown algae Sargassum hemiphyllum with KHCO3. The synthesis of KHCO3-activated biochar (KBAB-3), demonstrating remarkable adsorption capabilities for Cr(VI), was accomplished utilizing a mixture of brown algae and KHCO3 in a mass ratio of 1:3, followed by calcination at a temperature of 700 °C. Based on the empirical evidence, it can be observed that KBAB-3 shown a significant ability to adsorb Cr(VI) within a range of 60-160 mg g-1 across different environmental conditions. In addition, the KBAB-3 material demonstrated the advantageous characteristic of easy separation, allowing for the continued maintenance of a high efficiency in removing Cr(VI) even after undergoing numerous cycles of reuse. In conclusion, the application of KBAB-3, a novel adsorbent, exhibits considerable prospects for effective removal of Cr(VI) from diverse water sources in the near future.

Abstract
Pollution from harmful heavy metal ions such as Pb(II) and Cu(II) is causing serious environmental and health problems. In this study, Sodium and nitrogen co-doped porous carbon material (Na/NABc) was successfully prepared from seaweed, sodium hydroxide, and dicyandiamide. The experimental results showed that Na/NABc is an excellent adsorbent for the effective removal of Pb(II) and Cu(II) from water bodies. Specifically, 99.8% of Pb(II) and 64.6% Cu(II) (100 mg/L) were removed within 12 h using 10 mg Na/NABc(10%) at 25 °C. The adsorption of Pb(II) and Cu(II) in aqueous solution by Na/NABc(10%) was efficient and rapid in the first stage. The theoretical maximum removal capacities of Na/NABc for Pb(II) and Cu(II) were 959.6 and 299.1 mg/g, respectively. Pb(II) and Cu(II) ions were adsorbed quickly in the first 60 min, and the kinetics data were generally consistent with a pseudo-second-order model. Na/NABc(10%) had a large distribution coefficient for Pb(II) (8.38 L/mg) and Cu(II) (1.17 L/mg). The possible mechanisms were precipitation, Ion exchange, and surface complexation. The removal rate can reach about 70% after five cycles, and the release of sodium meets the standard. The results of this study demonstrate the potential applicability of Na/NABc(10%) for adsorption of heavy metals from aqueous solution.

THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2024; 920:170667. [PMID: 38331289 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2024.170667] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/14/2023] [Revised: 01/27/2024] [Accepted: 02/01/2024] [Indexed: 02/10/2024]
Abstract
The remediation of heavy metals/metalloids (HMs) co-contaminated soil by solid wastes-based stabilizers (SWBS) has received major concern recently. Based on the literature reported in the latest years (2010-2023), this review systematically summarizes the different types of solid wastes (e.g., steel slag, coal fly ash, red mud, and sewage sludge, etc.) employed to stabilize HMs contaminated soil, and presents results from laboratory and field experiments. Firstly, the suitable solid wastes for soil remediation are reviewed, and the pros and cons are presented. Thereafter, the technical feasibility and economic benefit are evaluated for field application. Moreover, evaluation methods for remediation of different types of HMs-contaminated soil and the effects of SWBS on soil properties are summarized. Finally, due to the large specific surface, porous structure, and high reactivity, the SWBS can effectively stabilize HMs via adsorption, complexation, co/precipitation, ion exchange, electrostatic interaction, redox, and hydration process. Importantly, the environmental implications and long-term effectiveness associated with the utilization of solid wastes are highlighted, which are challenges for practical implementation of soil stabilization using SWBS, because the aging of soil/solid wastes has not been thoroughly investigated. Future attention should focus on modifying the SWBS and establishing an integrated long-term stability evaluation method.

ACS OMEGA 2024; 9:12564-12574.

Abstract
The present study investigated the potency of biochar prepared from Blighia sapida seedpods (BSSPs) in the uptake of chloroquine phosphate (CQP) from single-component batch and multicomponent fixed-bed adsorption systems. BSSPs presented a highly porous structure with a BET surface area of 1122.05 m2/g, to which adsorption efficiency correlated. The Dubinin-Radushkevich isotherm energy was obtained as 129.09 kJ/mol, confirming the chemisorption nature of the BSSP-CQP adsorption system. The efficiency of the artificial neural network (ANN) was evaluated using the lowest mean square error (MSE = 7.27) and highest correlation coefficient (R2 = 0.9910). A good agreement between the experimental results and the ANN-predicted data indicated the efficiency of the model. The percentage removal of 95.78% obtained for the column adsorption studies indicated the effectiveness of BSSPs in a multicomponent system. The mechanism of the interaction proceeded via hydrogen bonding and electrostatic attraction. This was confirmed by the high desorption efficiency (69.11%) with a HCl eluent. The degree of reversibility was found to be 2.95, indicating the reusability potential of BSSPs. BSSPs are therefore considered multilayered adsorbents with potential applications in pharmaceutical wastewater treatment.

Abstract
Biochar has exceeded expectations for heavy metal immobilization and has been prepared from widely available sources and inexpensive materials. In this research, coconut shell biochar (CSB), bamboo biochar (BC), magnetic coconut shell charcoal (MCSB), and magnetic bamboo biochar (MBC) were manufactured via co-pyrolysis, and their adsorption properties were tested. The pseudo-secondary (R2 = 0.980-0.985) adsorption kinetic fittings for the four biochas were superior to the pseudo-primary kinetics (R2 = 0.969-0.982). Unmodified biochar adsorption isotherms were more consistent with the Freundlich model, while magnetic biochar fitted Langmuir models better. The maximum adsorption capacity of MCSB for Cu(Ⅱ) reached 371.50 mg g-1. The adsorption mechanisms quantitatively analysis of the biochar indicated that chemical precipitation and ion exchange contributed to the adsorption, in which the magnetic biochar metal-π complexation also enhanced the adsorption. The pot experiment revealed that MCSB (2.0 %DW) significantly enhanced the biomass of lettuce, and facilitated the immobilization of DTPA-Cu (p < 0.05). SEM-EDS, XPS, and FTIR were utilized for morphological characterization and functional group identification, and the increased active adsorption sites (-OH, -COOH, CO, and Fe-O) of MCSB enhanced chemisorption and π-π EDA complexation with Cu(Ⅱ). EEM-PARAFAC and RDA analysis further elucidated that magnetic biochar immobilized copper and reduced biotoxicity (efficiency: 76.12%) by adjusting soil pH, phosphate, and SOM release (negative correlation). The presence of iron oxides (FeOx) promoted in situ adsorption of metallic copper and offered new insights into soil remediation.

Abstract
Biochar and silicon (Si) have been widely considered to play an important role in mitigating cadmium (Cd) toxicity. In this study, wild-type rice (WT, high-Si) and Si-deficient mutant rice (lsi1, low-Si) were used as raw materials to prepare biochar at 500℃; the Si concentrations of high- and low-Si biochar were 15.9% and 5.3%, respectively. The impacts of different application rates (0%, 2%, 4%) of high- and low-Si biochars on soil chemical properties, Si and Cd fractions and availability, Cd absorption, and translocation were investigated. The results showed that both types of biochars increased soil pH, soil available nitrogen, and available phosphorus and potassium; and promoted Si uptake and plant growth of rice. Soil available Si, CaCl2-Si, acetic-Si, H2O2-Si, oxalate-Si, and Na2CO3-Si were also increased by biochar supply, especially for high-Si biochar treatments. In addition, both types of biochars had no effects on soil total Cd, but reduced soil available Cd by 2-17% in early season 2022, and reduced oxidizable Cd and residual Cd. Biochar application did not influence Cd concentrations in roots, stems, and leaves, but significantly increased Cd uptake and transport from stems and leaves to grains. The results suggested that Si-rich biochar could improve soil nutrients, change soil Si/Cd fractions and availability, promote rice growth but increase the risk of Cd toxicity in grains, indicating the complex of straw biochar in remediating Cd-contaminated paddy soil.

Abstract
In this work, bamboo charcoal (BC) is prepared by pyrolysis of bamboo. Then, KOH modification and surface deposition of Goethite (α-FeOOH) are performed to obtain a new KOH-modified BC loaded with α-FeOOH (FKBC) adsorbent for copper (Cu2+) and fluoride (F-) ion adsorption from aqueous solution. Surface morphology and physiochemical properties of the prepared adsorbent are characterized by scanning electron microscopy-energy dispersive spectrometer, X-ray diffraction, and N2 adsorption-desorption. The effect of pH, contact time, adsorbent dosage, and initial concentration on Cu2+ and F- adsorption is also investigated. In addition, adsorption kinetics and isotherms are fitted to pseudo-second-order kinetics and Langmuir model, respectively. Thermodynamic parameters suggest that the adsorption process is spontaneous and endothermic. The adsorption mechanism is further characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The Cu2+ absorption mainly occurs through ion exchange, coordination reactions, and surface precipitation, while the F- adsorption mainly occurs via ion exchange and hydrogen bonding. The selective adsorption experiments reveal that FKBC has good selectivity for Cu2+ and F-. The adsorption-desorption experimental results indicate that FKBC can be reused for Cu2+ and F- adsorption after regeneration. Results indicate that FKBC can be a promising adsorbent for Cu2+ and F- removal from aqueous solutions.

Abstract
Dyestuff wastewater and pharmaceutical wastewater have become typical representatives of water pollution. In this study, a novel nano-silica-biochar composite (NSBC) was synthesized based on corn straw as raw material, by a combination of ball milling, pyrolysis and KOH activation. The modified biochar with rough surface had higher specific surface area (117.67-132.82 m2/g), developed pore structure (0.12-0.15 cm3/g) and abundant surface functional groups (-OH, -COOH, Si-O and aromatic CC were dominated). These provided abundant active sites for the adsorption of pollutants. The adsorption capacities of NSBC for Methylene Blue (MB) and Tetracycline (TC) were both higher than that of other similar products, the maximum adsorption capacity of Langmuir were 247.22 and 86.95 mg/g, respectively. After five adsorption-desorption cycle experiments, the adsorption capacities of NSBC for both were still excellent, reaching 99.30 and 19.87 mg/g, respectively. Due to the different structure and molecular size of MB and TC, the adsorption capacities of NSBC were significantly different, especially the influence of solution pH value. The adsorption mechanisms were comprehensively discussed by FTIR and XPS of the samples before and after adsorption, and combining experimental results of BET and simultaneously, which were manifested as monolayer chemisorption, specifically surface complexation, hydrogen bonding, n-π/π-π conjugation, electrostatic interaction and pore filling.

[PMID: 36889405 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2023.162680] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/27/2022] [Revised: 03/02/2023] [Accepted: 03/02/2023] [Indexed: 06/18/2023]
Abstract
Silicon nanoparticles (SiNPs) have been widely used to immobilize toxic trace metal(loid)s (TTMs) in contaminated croplands. However, the effect and mechanisms of SiNP application on TTM transportation in response to phytolith formation and phytolith-encapsulated-TTM (PhytTTM) production in plants are unclear. This study demonstrates the promotion effect of SiNP amendment on phytolith development and explores the associated mechanisms of TTM encapsulation in wheat phytoliths grown on multi-TTM contaminated soil. The bioconcentration factors between organic tissues and phytoliths of As and Cr (> 1) were significantly higher than those of Cd, Pb, Zn and Cu, and about 10 % and 40 % of the total As and Cr that bioaccumulated in wheat organic tissues were encapsulated into the corresponding phytoliths under high-level SiNP treatment. These observations demonstrate that the potential interaction of plant silica with TTMs is highly variable among elements, with As and Cr being the two most strongly concentrated TTMs in the phytoliths of wheat treated with SiNPs. The qualitative and semi-quantitative analyses of the phytoliths extracted from wheat tissues suggest that the high pore space and surface area (≈ 200 m2 g-1) of phytolith particles could have contributed to the embedding of TTMs during silica gel polymerization and concentration to form PhytTTMs. The abundant SiO functional groups and high silicate-minerals in phytoliths are dominant chemical mechanisms for the preferential encapsulation of TTMs (i.e., As and Cr) by wheat phytoliths. Notably, the organic carbon and bioavailable Si of soils and the translocation of minerals from soil to plant aerial parts can impact TTM sequestration by phytoliths. Thus, this study has implications for the distribution or detoxification of TTMs in plants via preferential PhytTTM production and biogeochemical cycling of PhytTTMs in contaminated cropland following exogenous Si supplementation.

Removal of Cd 2+ from wastewater to form a three-dimensional fiber network using Si-Mg doped industrial lignin-based carbon materials. Int J Biol Macromol 2023; 229:62-69. [PMID: 36587637 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2022.12.274] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/18/2022] [Revised: 12/13/2022] [Accepted: 12/24/2022] [Indexed: 12/31/2022]
Abstract
In this study, SiMg doped industrial lignin-based carbon materials (SLCs) were prepared by water bath silicification and MgCl2 activation to remove Cd2+ from aqueous solutions. What's more, the doping of SiMg jointly promoted the excellent physicochemical properties of the material, e.g., high specific surface area, good pore volume, and numerous oxygen-containing groups. The Cd2+ batch adsorption experiments proved that SLCs have good Cd2+ removal capacity within pH 3-7, and the adsorption model demonstrated the adsorption process as a physicochemically complex process. The maximum adsorption of Cd2+ in the SLC was 665.35 mg/g, and the contributing factors to the removal of Cd2+ were as follows: ion exchange (59.36 %) > Cd2+ precipitation (24.93 %) > oxygen-containing functional group complexation (14.79 %) > Cd2+-π interactions (0.92 %). In addition, the complexation of SiO, MgO, and Cd precipitates allowed the formation of a three-dimensional fiber mesh structure. The application of SLCs has the potential to eliminate Cd2+ pollution in water bodies, and its preparation is simple and environmentally friendly. Finally, this study provides a theoretical basis for an in-depth understanding of the mechanism of heavy metal adsorption by inorganic nonmetals in combination with metal oxides.

Abstract
Due to the coexistence of various heavy metals in the contaminated environment, it is essential to comprehensively study the multicomponent adsorption of heavy metals in order to tackle these combined pollutants. Herein, the adsorption processes of Pb(Ⅱ), Cu(Ⅱ) and Cd(Ⅱ) by biogenic hydroxyapatite (BHAp) were investigated in single and multicomponent systems. The maximum adsorption capacity for Pb(Ⅱ), Cu(Ⅱ) and Cd(Ⅱ) by BHAp in single system reached 311.16, 82.05 and 92.54 mg g-1, respectively, while adsorption capacity for Cu(Ⅱ) and Cd(Ⅱ) in multicomponent system decreased more obviously than that of Pb(Ⅱ). Furthermore, the stability of Cu(Ⅱ) and Cd(Ⅱ) adsorbed on BHAp was indeed influenced in multicomponent system. By means of the characterization analysis, it was found that ion exchange was more instrumental in the adsorption processes of Cu(Ⅱ) and Cd(Ⅱ) in single system than in multicomponent system. Significantly, it was observed that the proportion of generally stable Pb(II) adsorbed on BHAp exceeded 95% in both single and multicomponent systems. This result might be due to the in-site growth of stable crystals of PbxCa10-x(PO4)6(OH)2, which was synergistically induced by surface functional groups and inorganic mineral of BHAp, and was unaffected by the coexistence of Cu(Ⅱ) and Cd(Ⅱ).

Abstract
Capacitive deionization (CDI) has been considered as an efficient, energy-saving and environmental friendly technology for water treatment. For the practical application of CDI, high-performance electrode materials beyond standard activated carbon should be developed. In this study, biochar derived from brown algae Sargassum hemiphyllum prepared by pyrolysis at 300-700 °C and then used as the CDI electrode to remove Cu(II) from aqueous solutions. According to the findings, the optimal pyrolysis temperature was 700 °C, and the electrosorption capacity of BAB700 was 75-120 mg·g-1 at an applied voltage of 1.2 V across wide range of initial pH, temperatures and ion types. Moreover, BAB700 also exhibited outstanding ability to electrosorb other heavy metals (Zn(II), Ni(II), and Cd(II)). In addition, the BAB700 retained the Cu(II) removal efficiency of 70 % in 10 cycles. Cu(II) in actual water is completely eliminated with great reproducibility, resulting in a high degree of applicability for water treatment.

ECOTOXICOLOGY AND ENVIRONMENTAL SAFETY 2023; 249:114407.

Abstract
Modification of biochar, such as impregnation with minerals, can improve biochar's efficacy to mitigate heavy metal toxicity in plants. Biochar amendments can alter plant rhizosphere microbiome, which has profound effects on plant growth and fitness. Here, we tested whether rhizosphere microbiome is involved in the ability of silicon (Si)-modified biochar to mitigate cadmium toxicity in tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.). We demonstrated that Si modification altered biochar's physico-chemical properties and enhanced its ability to mitigate cadmium toxicity in tomato. Particularly, the Si-modified biochar contained higher content of Si and increased plant-available Si content in the soil. The rhizosphere microbiome transplant experiment showed that changes in rhizosphere microbiome contributed to the mitigation of cadmium toxicity by biochar amendments. The raw biochar and Si-modified biochar differently altered tomato rhizosphere bacterial community composition. Both biochars, especially the Si-modified biochar, promoted specific bacterial taxa (e.g., Sphingomonas, Lysobacter and Pseudomonas spp.). Subsequent culturing found these promoted bacteria could mitigate cadmium toxicity in tomato. Moreover, both biochars stimulated tomato to recruit plant-beneficial bacteria with Si-modified biochar having stronger stimulatory effects, indicating that the positive effects of biochar on plant-beneficial bacteria was partially mediated via the host plant. Overall, Si modification enhanced biochar's ability to mitigate cadmium toxicity, which was linked to the stimulatory effects on plant-beneficial bacteria.

Abstract
Adsorption is a widely used technology for removing and separating heavy metal from water, attributed to its eco-friendly, cost-effective, and high efficiency. Adsorption isotherm modeling has been used for many years to predict the adsorption equilibrium mechanism, adsorption capacity, and the inherent characteristics of the adsorption process, all of which are substantial in evaluating the performance of adsorbents. This review summarizes the development history, fundamental characteristics, and mathematical derivations of various isotherm models, along with their applicable conditions and application scenarios in heavy metal adsorption. The latest progress in applying isotherm models with a one-parameter, two-parameter, and three-parameter in heavy metal adsorption using carbon-based materials, which has gained much attention in recent years as low-cost adsorbents, is critically reviewed and discussed. Several experimental factors affecting the adsorption equilibrium, such as solution pH, temperature, ionic strength, adsorbent dose, and initial heavy metal concentration, are briefly discussed. The criteria for selecting the optimum isotherm for heavy metal adsorption are proposed by comparing various adsorption models and analyzing mathematical error functions. Finally, the relative performance of different isotherm models for heavy metal adsorption is compared, and the future research gaps are identified.

Abstract
In this study, the brown algae Sargassum Hemiphyllum was used as a carbon source for synthesis of magnetic porous biochar via pyrolyzing at high temperature and and doping iron oxide particles (Fe-BAB). Cu (II) species were removed from aqueous solutions using Fe-BAB under various conditions. Fe-BAB demonstrated superior Cu (II) adsorption (105.3 mg g-1) compared to other biochars. On the surface of Fe-BAB, there are several oxygen-containing functional groups, such as -COOH and -OH, which are likely responsible for the excellent heavy metal removal performance. By utilizing magnet, the Fe-BAB can be conveniently separated from the solution and ready for further usage. Multi-adsorption mechanisms were responsible for Cu adsorption on Fe-BAB. Using the magnetic algal biochar for heavy metal removal is feasible due to its high adsorption efficiency and simplicity of separation.

Abstract
Biochar (BC) has been recognized as an effective adsorbent to remove trace elements (TEs) from water. However, low surface functionality and small pore size can limit the adsorption ability of pristine biochar. These limitations can be addressed by using functionalized biochars which are developed by physical, chemical, or biological activation of biochar to improve their physico-chemical properties and adsorption efficiency. Despite the large amount of research concerning functionalized biochars in recent decades, to our knowledge, no comprehensive review of this topic has been published. This review focuses solely on the synthesis, characterization, and applications of functionalized/engineered biochars for removing TEs from water. Firstly, we evaluate the synthesis of functionalized biochars by physical, chemical, and biological strategies that yield the desired properties in the final product. The following section describes the characterization of functionalized biochars using various techniques (SEM, TEM, EDS, XRD, XANES/NEXAFS, XPS, FTIR, and Raman spectroscopy). Afterward, the role of functionalized biochars in the adsorption of different TEs from water/wastewater is critically evaluated with an emphasis on the factors affecting sorption efficiency, sorption mechanisms, fate of sorbed TEs from contaminated environments and associated challenges. Finally, we specifically scrutinized the future recommendations and research directions for the application of functionalized biochar. This review serves as a comprehensive resource for the use of functionalized biochar as an emerging environmental material capable of removing TEs from contaminated water/wastewater.

Adsorption of chromium, copper, lead and mercury ions from aqueous solution using bio and nano adsorbents: A review of recent trends in the application of AC, BC, nZVI and MXene. ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH 2022; 212:113138.

Abstract
Recent trends in adsorption of Chromium (Cr), Copper (Cu), Lead (Pb) and Mercury (Hg) in wastewater using (i) carbonaceous materials including activated carbon (AC) and biochar (BC), and (ii) nanomaterials including nano zero-valent iron (nZVI) and MXenes have been discussed in this paper. It has been found that adsorption capacity depends largely on the adsorbent modification technique, initial pH of wastewater, dosage of adsorbent, contact time and initial concentration of the pollutants. The pH value ranges for maximum removal of Cr, Cu, Pb and Hg have been reported as 2-4, 5-6, 5-8 and 3-8, respectively. Up to 99% removal of metals has been reported using AC, BC, nZVI and MXene. The mechanism involves the reduction and chemical adsorption of metals. AC and BC have a higher surface area (up to 5000 m2/g) compared to nZVI (up to 500 m2/g) and MXene (up to 67.66 m2/g). However, the higher reactivity and regeneration capacity of nZVI and MXene make them suitable adsorbents. From a practical point of view the application of adsorbents for real effluents, cost analysis, regeneration capability and reuse of heavy metals are some aspects that need attention in future studies. The removal efficiencies of AC and BC are comparable to the nZVI and MXene. The cost analysis may be an attractive aspect to decide the future application of these adsorbents at large scale.

Abstract
Phase-change materials (PCMs) plays a significant role in energy conservation and thermal management systems. However, excessive seepage and insufficient thermal conductivity of pristine PCMs are restricting its real-world applications. Herein, "anisotropic-like" biochar with favorable pore characteristics is designed by combining it with chitosan for dodecane encapsulation. The use of biochar could overcome high manufacturing costs and associated environmental issues of PCM supporting materials. Biochar co-mediated chitosan enrich the mesopore proportion (96.5%) and provide interactive synergistic architecture. The prepared composite PCM exhibited outstanding latent heat retention of 95.9% after repeated cycling, high loading ratio, enhanced thermal conductivity (0.373 W/(m·K)), leakage-free, and repeatable utilization properties above the melting point of pristine dodecane. A figure of merit of 33.94 × 106 W2 S/(m4oC) was achieved, far surpassing that measure among reported biochar-based composite PCMs. This study provides insights into next-generation sustainable energy storage development for a key global sustainability goal.

Abstract
Heavy metal pollution in soil and water has presented a new challenge for the environmental remediation technology. Nano zero valent iron (nZVI) has excellent adsorbent properties for heavy metals, and thus, exhibits great potential in environmental remediation. Used as supporting materials for nZVI, carbon-based materials, such as activated carbon (AC), biochar (BC), carbon nanotubes (CNTs), and graphene (GNs) with aromatic rings formed by carbon atoms as the skeleton, have a large specific surface area and porous structure. This paper provides a comprehensive review on the advancement of carbon-based nano zero valent iron (C-nZVI) particles for heavy metal remediation in soil and water. First, different types of carbon-based materials and their combination with nZVI, as well as the synthesis methods and common characterization techniques of C-nZVI, are reviewed. Second, the mechanisms for the interactions between contaminants and C-nZVI, including adsorption, reduction, and oxidation reactions are detailed. Third, the environmental factors affecting the remediation efficiency, such as pH, coexisting constituents, oxygen, contact time, and temperature, are highlighted. Finally, perspectives on the challenges for utilization of C-nZVI in the actual contaminated soil and water and on the long-term efficacy and safety evaluation of C-nZVI have been proposed for further development.

Enhanced Removal of Malachite Green Using Calcium-Functionalized Magnetic Biochar. INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH AND PUBLIC HEALTH 2022; 19:ijerph19063247.

Abstract
To efficiently remove malachite green (MG), a novel calcium-functionalized magnetic biochar (Ca/MBC) was fabricated via a two-step pyrolysis method. Iron-containing oxides endowed the target complexes with magnetic properties, especially the chemotactic binding ability with MG, and the addition of calcium significantly changed the morphology of the material and improved its adsorption performance, especially the chemotactic binding ability with MG, which could be confirmed through FTIR, XPS, and adsorption experiments. Electrostatic adsorption, ligand exchange, and hydrogen bonding acted as essential drivers for an enhanced adsorption process, and the maximum theoretical adsorption capacity was up to 12,187.57 mg/g. Ca/MBC maintained a higher adsorption capacity at pH = 4–12, and after five adsorption–desorption cycles, the adsorption capacity and adsorption rate of MG remained at 1424.2 mg/g and 71.21%, highlighting the advantages of Ca/MBC on adsorbing MG. This study suggests that biochar can be modified by a green synthesis approach to produce calcium-functionalized magnetic biochar with excellent MG removal capacity. The synthetic material can not only remove pollutants from water but also provide an efficient way for soil remediation.

Abstract
Silicon (Si) deficiency and heavy metals (HMs) pollution are common for farmland soil because of long-term intensive farming. In this study, a novel citrate-modified biochar (C-BC) was introduced as a soil conditioner to simultaneously increase the amount of plant-available Si (PASi) and immobilize HMs. The maximum amount of PASi released was 33.00 mg⋅g-1 from C-BC pre-treated with 0.1 mol⋅L-1 citrate (C-BC0.1). A formation-transport coupling mechanism for increasing the amount of PASi released was developed. Stable Si in the biomass was pyrolyzed to give silicate that was relatively mobile via nucleophilic attack of citrate and hydrolysis of amorphous Si. Silicate species were then released through the porous surface and widening cracks caused by pyrolysis. At citrate concentrations >0.1 mol⋅L-1, the surface and cracks were easily blocked by precipitates formed during pyrolysis. The ability of C-BC to remove HMs was assessed using Cu as an example. C-BC0.1 was optimal for adsorbing Cu, and the maximum adsorption capacity was 271.73 mg⋅g-1. The Cu adsorption mechanism mainly involved surface precipitation, surface complexation, electrostatic attraction and hydrogen bonding. Our research provides important implications for simultaneously addressing Si deficiency and HMs contaminant problems by these materials for soil amendment in agro-ecosystem.

Abstract
Water is a basic and significant asset for living beings. Water assets are progressively diminishing due to huge populace development, industrial activities, urbanization and rural exercises. Few heavy metals include zinc, copper, lead, nickel, cadmium and so forth can easily transfer into the water system either direct or indirect activities of electroplating, mining, tannery, painting, fertilizer industries and so forth. The different treatment techniques have been utilized to eliminate the heavy metals from aquatic system, which includes coagulation/flocculation, precipitation, membrane filtration, oxidation, flotation, ion exchange, photo catalysis and adsorption. The adsorption technique is a better option than other techniques because it can eliminate heavy metals even at lower metal ions concentration, simplicity and better regeneration behavior. Agricultural wastes are low-cost biosorbent and typically containing cellulose have the ability to absorb a variety of contaminants. It is important to note that almost all agro wastes are no longer used in their original form but are instead processed in a variety of techniques to improve the adsorption capacity of the substance. The wide range of adsorption capacities for agro waste materials were observed and almost more than 99% removal of toxic pollutants from aquatic systems were achieved using modified agro-waste materials. The present review aims at the water pollution due to heavy metals, as well as various heavy metal removal treatment procedures. The primary objectives of this research is to include an overview of adsorption and various agriculture based adsorbents and its comparison in heavy metal removal.

Humulus scandens-Derived Biochars for the Effective Removal of Heavy Metal Ions: Isotherm/Kinetic Study, Column Adsorption and Mechanism Investigation. NANOMATERIALS 2021; 11:nano11123255.

Abstract
Humulus scandens was first adopted as a biomass precursor to prepare biochars by means of a facile molten salt method. The optimized biochar exhibits a high specific surface area of ~450 m2/g, a rich porous structure and abundant oxygen functional groups, which demonstrate excellent adsorption performance for heavy metal ions. The isotherm curves fit well with the Langmuir models, indicating that the process is governed by the chemical adsorption, and that the maximum adsorption capacity can reach 748 and 221 mg/g for Pb2+ and Cu2+, respectively. In addition, the optimized biochar demonstrates good anti-interference ability and outstanding removal efficiency for Cu2+ and Pb2+ in simulated wastewater. The mechanism investigation and DFT calculation suggest that the oxygen functional groups play dominant roles in the adsorption process by enhancing the binding energy towards the heavy metal ions. Meanwhile, ion exchange also serves as the main reason for the effective removal.

Abstract
A novel Si-Mn binary modified biochar composite material (SMBC) was prepared after being sintered 450 °C for 2 h. The crystal structure, surface functional groups, surface morphology and element composition, specific surface area and pore structure were characterized by XRD, FTIR, XPS, SEM + EDS and BET etc. The results showed that the surface of SMBC was rough and loose, and the specific surface area increased to 35.4284 m2/g. Si and Mn were uniformly attached to the surface of biochar in the form of SiO2, MnOx, MnSiO3. Batch adsorption experiments showed that SMBC had a higher removal efficiency (139.06 mg/g, above 98%) for Cu(II) when the dosage was 2 g/L and pH = 6. The cycle experiments showed that SMBC had good reusability, and its regeneration efficiency still reached 80.24%. The leaching amount of Mn (0.65 mg/L) was greatly reduced and avoid second-pollution resulted from ion exchange, which was attributed to the existence of Si-O-Mn bonds, and they could help Mn adhere to the surface of biochar more stable. The adsorption process was dominated by single-layer chemical adsorption and mainly occurred in the membrane diffusion stage. Cu(II) mainly formed -COOCu, -OCu, Cu(OH)2, Cu(OH)2CO3, Si-O-Cu, Mn-O-Cu by the mechanisms such as precipitation (4.74%), ion exchange (13.81%), complexation and physical adsorption (total 81.45% of the two mechanisms). Among them, complexation was dominant in the adsorption process.

Changes in adsorption mechanisms of radioactive barium, cobalt, and strontium ions using spent coffee waste biochars via alkaline chemical activation: Enrichment effects of O-containing functional groups. ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH 2021; 199:111346. [PMID: 34019898 DOI: 10.1016/j.envres.2021.111346] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/24/2021] [Revised: 05/06/2021] [Accepted: 05/14/2021] [Indexed: 06/12/2023]
Abstract
The single adsorption of radioactive barium (Ba(II)), cobalt (Co(II)), and strontium (Sr(II)) ions using pristine (SCWB-P) and chemically activated spent coffee waste biochars with NaOH (SCWB-A) were thoroughly explored in order to provide deeper insights into the changes in their adsorption mechanisms through alkaline chemical activation. The greater removal efficiencies of SCWB-A (76.6-97.3%) than SCWB-P (45.6-75.2%) and the consistency between the adsorptive removal patterns (Ba(II) > Sr(II) > Co(II)) and oxygen bond dissociation enthalpies (BaO (562 kJ/mol) > SrO (426 kJ/mol) > CoO (397 kJ/mol)) of radioactive species supported the assumption that the adsorption removal of radioactive species with spent coffee waste biochars highly depended on the abundances of O-containing functional groups. The calculated R2 values of the pseudo-first-order (SCWB-P = 0.998-0.999; SCWB-A = 0.850-0.921) and pseudo-second-order kinetic models (SCWB-P = 0.988-0.998; SCWB-A = 0.935-0.966) are evident that the physisorption mainly controlled the adsorption of radioactive species toward SCWB-P and the chemisorption played a crucial role in their adsorptive removal with SCWB-A. From the calculated intra-particle diffusion, isotherm, thermodynamic parameters, it can be concluded that the intra-particle diffusion and monolayer adsorption primarily governed the adsorption of radioactive species using SCWB-P and SCWB-A, and their adsorption processes occurred spontaneously and endothermically. The dominant adsorption mechanism of spent coffee waste biochars was changed from physisorption (ΔH° of SCWB-P = 21.6-29.8 kJ/mol) to chemisorption (ΔH° of SCWB-A = 42.4-81.3 kJ/mol) through alkaline chemical activation. The distinctive M-OH peak in the O1s XPS spectra of SCWB-A directly corresponding to the decrease in the abundances of O-containing functional groups confirms again that the enrichment of O-containing functional groups markedly facilitated the adsorption removal of radioactive species by chemisorption occurred at the inner and outer surfaces of spent coffee waste biochars.

Characterization of biochars derived from various spent mushroom substrates and evaluation of their adsorption performance of Cu(II) ions from aqueous solution. ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH 2021; 196:110323. [PMID: 33098819 DOI: 10.1016/j.envres.2020.110323] [Citation(s) in RCA: 26] [Impact Index Per Article: 8.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/18/2020] [Revised: 10/08/2020] [Accepted: 10/11/2020] [Indexed: 05/22/2023]
Abstract
A total of 16 biochar adsorbents were produced from four types of spent mushroom substrates to investigate the effect of pyrolysis temperature and raw material composition on the Cu(II) adsorption performance of the resulting biochars. It was determined that the pyrolysis temperature and substrate composition markedly influenced the thermal stability, the degree of carbonization, surface functional group content, and structural morphology of the biochars, but did not affect the adsorption isotherms or kinetics. Optimal results were obtained with an initial pH of 5, adsorbent dosage of 1 g/L, Cu(II) concentration of 50 mg/L, and temperature of 25 °C. The four best-performing biochars conformed to the Langmuir isotherm model and followed pseudo-second-order kinetics with maximum Cu(II) adsorption between 52.6 and 65.6 mg/g. Precipitation was the dominant mechanism for Cu(II) adsorption onto Lentinus edodes spent substrate-derived biochar pyrolyzed at 600 °C (LESS600), whereas complexation with surface functional groups was the prominent mechanism of Cu(II) removal by Auricularia auricula spent substrate-derived biochar pyrolyzed at 500 °C (AASS500). The Flammulina velutipes and Pleurotus ostreatus spent substrate-derived biochars pyrolyzed at 600 °C (FVSS600 and POSS600, respectively) removed Cu(II) ions using both precipitation and Cu2+-π complexation interactions. The findings indicate that biochar derived from spent mushroom substrates containing abundant lignin and pyrolyzed at high temperatures (500 or 600 °C) demonstrate effective Cu(II) removal because of the various physico-chemical properties discussed herein.

Abstract
Pollutants in wastewater and exhaust gas bring out serious concerns to public health and the environment. Biochar can be developed as a sustainable adsorbent originating from abundant bio-wastes, such as agricultural waste, forestry residue, food waste and human waste. Here we highlight the state-of-the-art research progress on pyrochar and hydrochar for the sorption of pollutants (heavy metal, organics, gas, etc) in wastewater and exhaust gases. The adsorption performance of pyrochar and hydrochar are compared and discussed in-depth, including preparation procedures (carbonization and activation), sorption possible mechanisms, and physiochemical properties. Challenges and perspective for designing efficient and environmental benign biochar-based adsorbents are finally addressed.

Three-dimensional porous graphene-like biochar derived from Enteromorpha as a persulfate activator for sulfamethoxazole degradation: Role of graphitic N and radicals transformation. JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2020; 399:123039. [PMID: 32534393 DOI: 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2020.123039] [Citation(s) in RCA: 76] [Impact Index Per Article: 19.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/30/2020] [Revised: 05/05/2020] [Accepted: 05/24/2020] [Indexed: 06/11/2023]
Abstract
Three-dimensional graphene-like biochar derived from Enteromorpha (EGB) was prepared as a persulfate (PS) activator for sulfamethoxazole (SMX) degradation. The graphitic N in the EGB samples not only endowed the superior binding energy towards SMX adsorption, but also promote the PS binding with the EGB, which was crucial to the catalytic degradation of SMX in EGB/PS system. Different from the radical-based oxidation in biochar prepared at 400 °C via the persistent free radicals (PFRs), both 1O2 and surface electron transfer served as non-radical pathways in the EGB samples prepared above 500 °C, acting together with free radicals (O2∙-) on SMX degradation. Oxidation of SMX and its substructural analogues indicated that the selective oxidizing reaction occurred in the EGB/PS system and the isoxazole ring in SMX molecule was insensitive to be attacked 1O2. In addition, toxicity predication indicated that the overall biotoxicity of the intermediates during SMX degradation was decreased.
